Light curtains, also called safety light curtains or optoelectronic protective devices (OPDs), are specialised safety devices designed to protect personnel from dangerous machinery. These devices create a curtain “hence the name” of infrared light beams to send stop signals to the machinery when interrupted, preventing accidents and injuries. A light curtain responds efficiently, in a fraction of a second, providing a higher level of safety alternative to other mechanical barriers. Additionally, advanced models come with standout features, such as auto disconnection and reset options, making them ideal for various applications.
Why Buy Light Curtains?
Investing in light curtains is a proactive measure to ensure site safety and prevent accidents involving machinery. They offer non-contact safety solutions and contribute to increased productivity by allowing for faster and more efficient machine operation compared to traditional guarding methods. Additionally, safety light curtains are versatile and can be adapted to various applications and machine types, making them a valuable safety solution for multiple industries.
